She was spotted in California looking fabulous and as the weather is warming up, we all want to know how to get our sexy stems ready for summer! While there is no magic wand, we can all “kick” those daisies with the right beauty products, a few squats and some amazing shoes. To get ready for summer, try these tips:· Exfoliate - The key to getting perfectly smooth legs is to give them a good scrubbing Organic Virgin Olive Oil Body Scrub ($13.99; Vitamin World)An intensive body scrub with Organic Virgin Olive Oil, Olive Stones, Vine Leaf Extract, Aloe Vera Juice, Blackcurrant Seed Oil, Vitamin C, Sweet Almond Oil, Cotton Seed Oil, Lemon Peel Extract, Thyme Extract and Fennel Extract.
